00:00 >> Yaya, first off, just asking to coming down on the field, how are you feeling?
00:06 Bowles talked to us after the game saying that you'd be good to go for
00:09 a week or two, how are you feeling now?
00:11 >> Yeah, yeah, just a little twisting, nothing too big.
00:17 I'm just getting in the training room tomorrow and
00:19 then I'll be good for the next game.
00:23 >> We're live here on Buccaneers Radio as well, Yaya, with you.
00:26 Tell me about being out on the field for
00:28 the first time in a preseason atmosphere, preseason or not, it's an NFL game.
00:32 >> It felt good, it really felt good.
00:34 And I started off kinda slow, but I was finding my way to the quarterback.
00:40 And I feel like coming back week two is gonna be much better.
00:46 >> So much of your story is something to prove, and
00:48 it's one of the reasons I know you've said you took the number zero,
00:50 something to prove.
00:52 How much does that continue to motivate you now that you're even in the NFL?
00:57 >> Yeah, it's just the fire, the fire in me, just what I came from.
01:03 And it's just pushing me every day and just going out there today was a blessing.
01:08 And I'm gonna just watch the game and come back stronger.
01:13 >> With the understanding it's a preseason game,
01:16 was there a second where you went, I'm in the NFL and
01:18 that's the Pittsburgh Steelers, here we go, right?
01:20 >> Yeah, it actually was when I went on punt.
01:24 When I went on punt, that was my actual first map in the league.
01:28 So I was like, dang, I'm really here, so it felt good.
01:33 >> What was it like playing in Raymond James Stadium too in front of fans?
01:36 >> Man. >> First time you had it in training camp,
01:37 but it's a little bit different than stadium.
01:39 >> It was awesome, man, the fans are loud.
01:41 I like the little cannon when we score, it felt good.
01:45 >> Did you jump the first time you heard the cannon?
01:46 Everybody seems to jump.
01:48 It's not something that's always there in NFL stadiums or college stadiums.
01:52 >> I didn't jump.
01:52 We came here during the OTAs to just visit and
01:57 they kinda gave us a little demo of the cannon.
02:02 I did jump then, but I ain't jump, I ain't jump today.
02:05 >> Ready to go to New York and go battle the Jets after a couple more practices
02:08 here, ready to go?
02:09 >> Yes, sir, yes, sir.
02:11 >> All right, thanks very much.
02:12 >> Thank you.
02:13 >> Was there anything surprising to you tonight?
02:15 I mean, your first true NFL game experience,
02:18 did anything surprise you, any or shock you?
02:21 >> I would say probably the speed, the speed.
02:25 Just gotta get adjusted to it and just elaborate from that.
